I'd like to know what folks would think about starting a wiki page on police brutality? The regular documentation of it from around the world. What would you think about doing something like that and who would be interested in contributing to that page with me? Let me know via messaging. Thanks!

Thank you for the reconsideration.

Hello, I'm Laser brain. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Elvis Presley, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello. May I inquire as to what has been removed to the history section for the Elvis Presley page? Thank you kindly for informing me.

It's all been removed. You introduced speculative text that was not reliably sourced. There are two essential Wikipedia pages you should read carefully: Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources and Wikipedia:No original research. These describe what kinds of sources are appropriate for Wikipedia articles, and how to avoid personal interpretations in your writing. Additionally, Elvis Presley is a Featured article, meaning it should maintain the highest quality of writing and sources. --Laser brain (talk) 13:08, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning. And thank you for the clarification as well as the help. I will get those citations for the necessary edits I wish to make, because neither the Mahalia Jackson and Elvis Presley connection has been cited or noted on the page, and the treatment of Elvis Presley's remains/body has not been noted on the page. And I very much do not appreciate this being left out of this page.

Additionally, there seems to be an issue that whenever I make corrections to pages, asserting historical significance or noting inaccuracies there seems to be an issue with, "cite your sources". When I do cite my sources, immediately, or after the fact, they say, "cite your sources". What part of, "here it is in black and white" don't folks understand?

Here are the following citations for the Elvis Presley page - I'll even let you review my friend and make the notations yourself.

Link #1 http://elvispresleyphotos.com/celebrities/mahalia_jackson.html

Link #2 http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-canada.html

Link #3 http://www.musiclyric4christian.com/elvis-presley-sang-gospel.html

This will get you started my friend. I'll be back with more later. Forthe1789usconstitution (talk) 13:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity, did you read the page I linked for you, Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources? It can be a bit difficult to parse in one sitting, I grant you, but it should offer some advice on determining which sources are reliable. Those you just listed are not reliable for the purposes of Wikipedia. I'm sure you can imagine that a lot of information about Elvis is contentious and so we need to stick to high-quality, vetted sources. I am speaking of books and scholarly sources where there is strong evidence of fact-checking, editorial process, and a good reputation among serious scholars of the subject. We cannot include text citing blogs and amateur/fan sites about Elvis. --Laser brain (talk) 14:11, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
